13	There are few things cooler than heroically jumping through a plume of fire. In acknowledgement of that, many many video game and platform settings put it upon themselves to create scenarios to make it happen. Flame Spewer Obstacle, also known as Flame Trap, is when environmental hazards exist for the sole purpose of periodically erupting into flames. This generally takes the form of a timing puzzle, but the fire can also be proximity triggered, or it can be just a static obstacle that must be entirely avoided.
14
15	This type of hazard that is most commonly encountered in platformer games but can also be found in other genres. In contrast, flame spewers are almost nonexistent in real life outside very specific areas of specific factories.
16
17	Flame spewers can most commonly be encountered in the following forms:
18	* Flames emitting from broken pipes (usually gas pipes)
19	* Flames emitting at the ends of a pipe (also usually gas pipes), particularly ends of flame vents
20	* Flames being shot by specific flame emitters and flame traps
21	* Flames emerging from cracks in the ground
22	* [[FireBreathingWeapon Flamethrower]]-equipped enemies shooting with it through slits
23
24	Such hazards are most commonly encountered in LethalLavaLand and EternalEngine. Sometimes also present and functional in a TempleOfDoom. Also a staple inclusion of any self-respecting DeadlyTrainingArea or ConveyorBeltODoom. Such places have NoOSHACompliance.
25
26	The earliest instance of such obstacle can be found in ''VideoGame/JumpBug'', released in 1981. Usage of flame spewers as an obstacle became more widespread during the late 1980s and has remained a fairly common obstacle in platforming games ever since.
27
28	See also:
29	* {{Fireballs}} in case whatever it is spits out separate balls of fire rather than a stream of fire. Or when fireballs make up a rotating fire stick
30	* FireBreathingWeapon in case the flame comes out of an actively carried weapon
31	* LavaPit which is sometimes the source of flames
32	* SteamVentObstacle: In case it's steam that is used as a hazard
33	* WeaponizedExhaust: When exhausts of whatever is actively used as a weapon

These geysers can make it difficult for other Pikmin types to cross, so the Reds can be used to traverse such areas, or destroy the geysers so that other Pikmin can cross.
70	* ''VideoGame/{{Slain}}'' has floor hazards that shoot out tall flames at regular intervals.

85	* ''VideoGame/Blood1997'' features the occasional flamethrower wall trap. These are especially dangerous because fire deals severe DamageOverTime, and the more a living thing (whether Caleb or an enemy) stays in contact with fire, the longer they burn for and the more damage it deals per second.

There are also several in the infinite/solo dungeon Torghast in ''Shadowlands'', as parts of the numerous traps conceived by Painsmith Raznal, a servant of [[BigBad the Jailer]].
